1995 Château Calon-Ségur

Description

The 1995 vintage was a turning point for Bordeaux, marking the first truly great "keeper" vintage of the 1990s. For Calon-Ségur, 1995 produced a wine of massive structural integrity and classic Saint-Estèphe power. While the 2001 was about elegance, the 1995 is a more robust, "sturdy" wine that has taken decades to reach its current state of harmony.
